No problem as long as we are talking theory its all good and we are talking theory and hypothetical scenarios in TSB.

About the clicking adsense stuff, as you have mentioned yourself:

If someone can make you money by visiting 500 times your site with different IPs and clicking it 5 times (1% CTR) then why dont they do it on their sites and make a lot more than 10$?

Its pretty simple, no one can do it for an extended period of time the way they are doing it and get away with it.

The footprints are too many to be ignored by Google when something like that happens, and unless they have a pretty good script in place that randomized everything(!) that Google checks, they will get burned. For example, something that most people dont know, is that a major footprint is when ALL clicks are on the SAME place (coordinates) on the ad. That means that all ads are for example, clicked 10 pixels from the right and 6 pixels from the bottom and so on. Creating effectively a unique hotspot and major footprint, EVEN if the scripts they use covers all else (computer monitor resolution, ip ranges, hosts, browser and a ton of other stuff that adsense javascripts reads from your pc)

So instead of getting burned themselves and burning their accounts, they can get away with it if they do it on random accounts (clients) and with a very low CTR.

By the way, dont try that on your adsense sites, as you would flag Google that something is weird. You might get away today,but they will catchup and you will just loose the account.

Adsense?

Best way to do it go on Tor & buy time on a botnet. There are entire networks designed for this. A student of mine is a developer for Adwords & told me they still can't beat click fraud & millions are lost daily.

Google moniters if visitors that click on the ads convert. It is a huge footprint if visitors from a site have lower than average conversions than usual on a constant basis. Lot's of fake clicks will have no conversion at all and will send red flags.

I was planning on using it on a website that recieves clicks anyway to lessen the red flag. my traffic is around 800 visitors a day however they do not convert as the website is very offtopic and most people dont click ads that comes to that specific niche, i had mabye 30-50 clicks in the past year. So increasing the clicks with traffic and rankings would seem normal (?) but the risk for me is too great.

But not all ads require visitor to take some action in terms of CPA (Cost Per ACTION). When the ad is just to promote a brand message and for similar informational purposes, then there must be some kind of tradeoff... Don't you think ??
